Today saw the first two rounds of the knock out stages of the Championship with four of our members taking part. After the wind of the last few days the players enjoyed rather more benign conditions.
First out was Catherine Small who lost out in a closely fought battle to Hannah Scott going down 3 & 2 in the First Round.
Clara Young had a convincing win 7 & 6 win over Jenny Potter in the first round and a comfortable 4 & 3 win over Fiona Liddell in the second round. Clara is the only one of the top four seeds to remain in the championship after the the first two rounds. Clara, fresh from her success in the Championship at Luffness, had to juggle sitting Highers on Tuesday and Wednesday this week before playing in the qualifying rounds. Although the margin of the win in the afternoon was less Clara was in fine form being 1 under par for the 14 holes.
Lesley Atkins lost out narrowly 2 & 1 to Megan Briggs after a tough game in the first round.
Last out of the East Lothian representatives was Hilary Wardell playing on her home course. Hilary won the title in 1995 under her maiden name Monaghan. Hilary started well with a 4 & 3 win over Nichola Ferguson before going down 4 & 3 to Megan Briggs who had already knocked out Lesley Atkins.
Why not go along and see some fine golf? Clara tees off at 8.40 against Eilidh Briggs.
